“Earlier this year I attended the annual Cross Border Summit hosted by the Global from Asia crew. The Summit had everything we expected and more: informative speakers, break-out sessions, interesting panel speakers, and an espresso machine that always had a line.

My key takeaway from the event is that it was a way for me, a newcomer to Shenzhen, to meet a bunch of great people, network like crazy, create new business opportunities, and even make a few friends.

Mike Michelini and his team were awesome, but it didn’t end only with the conference like a lot of events do. I’ve been able to join other business leaders in a newly formed mastermind group, been invited to take part in cross border trips and meetups, and of course I’m definitely marking my calendar for next year’s Cross Border Summit! “
